Demo of real-time tweet analysis with Maltego Carbon Jan. 23

At any one time, there are events trending on Twitter, with people acting as "sensor networks" by sharing near-field information. Maltego Carbon 3.5.3 has a new feature, the Tweet Analyzer, which enables the capture of content — and ego — networks based around "seed" keywords, key phrases and hashtags.

Come experience the Tweet Analyzer live. A demo will take place from 1-2 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23, in 301 Hale Library. All are welcome. No prior experience is necessary. Email shalin@k-state.edu if you have any questions.

This feature includes built-in sentiment analysis — positive, negative and neutral — and spatial graph layout that disambiguates clusters of topics around the seed term. Maltego Carbon builds on the Twitter API and requires user authentication into Twitter to access the information.
